Grammar 语法
Experience: verb + 过
。/ 。
过 (guo) after a verb = 'have ever done'. It talks about experience, not one specific time. Negate with 没 + verb + 过. Ask: 你去过…吗? or 你去没去过…?
Although … but …: 虽然…，但是…
，。
虽然 (suīrán) introduces a concession, 但是 (dànshì) the contrast. Like 因为…所以…, Chinese uses both halves together — English drops one of them.
Still / also: 还
。/ 。
还 (hái) = still, also, in addition. 还有 = there's also. 还没 + verb = not yet. 还是 in a question = or: 你喝茶还是咖啡?
Comparison review: A 比 B + adj (+ amount)
。
From Lesson 12: A 比 B + adj. Add 多了 or 一点儿 after the adjective to say 'much' or 'a bit': 今天比昨天冷一点儿. Never put 很 before the adjective in a 比 sentence.
